There are simple graphic designs that become iconic, axiomatic, and emblematic in the eyes of almost any viewer. In culture we might think of them as the incidental pop art of our times. As we approach Pride Season there is one image that cannot be mistaken by lovers and haters alike and it is the Rainbow Flag.
Not unlike the red streamer of the Solidarity movement created by Kaz Bascik, the red rose clenched in a upraised fist for the French Socialist Party under François Mitterrand, or the London Underground logo, these graphic icons are unmistakable and transcendent by becoming a bookmark for a epoch.
